A blithe, funny, and engaging movie.
The jokes in American Dreamz whiz by with speed and grace, and Weitz maintains control of the material every minute.

A moderately engaging satire, some of it amusing and some of it strained, but in considerable measure it reflects a strange circumstance in all our lives.
The only likable characters are ebullient Omer (Sam Golzari), a show-tune-loving reluctant Iraqi suicide bomber who comes to the O.C., and earnest William (Chris Klein), an American GI wounded in Iraq, who are mirror images.
Maybe America will prove me wrong by voting, but I felt like you were holding back until the end.
The director of "American Pie" has set out to make a merciless satire of American media culture along the lines of "Network," but his ideas are so commonplace that nothing registers except the bile.
It is definitely the weakest movie of the Weitz catalog and will certainly be forgotten faster than Hung himself.
